What is a good protein shake to take while pregnant?

I am 16 weeks and I do not crave any type of meats. Trying to see what is a good brand of protein shakes.

  • Do you have specific allergies to things? I cannot have gluten, diary, or beef. I use a pea protein based powder for my shakes and it tastes pretty good!

  • The brand Ritual makes a pregnancy shake mix.  It’s actually pretty tasty (vanilla and subtly malty) and really helpful for when I need an alternative meal.
    I get their prenatals, pregnancy protein shake mix, and my husband’s multi vitamins on monthly delivery.  We’ve even used the mix to fortify pancakes.
  • Protein from food is much healthier than protein shakes. If you're adverse to meat, try eggs, dairy, beans, nuts, oats, tofu, quinoa, etc. Look up vegetarian protein sources for more ideas
  • Orgain has a plant based chocolate protein shake that's actually good. I found them at Costco. 
  • The equate chocolate protein shakes are good, you can get them from Walmart or target! I also have an aversion to meats. I substitute it with chickpeas, avocado, tofu, cottage cheese with fruit, eggs, and belvita bars
